This recipe came from my mom. She took a cooking class when they travelled to Thailand from a chef there....so it really is authentic:)
1 c. ground chicken meat
2 c. chicken stock or water
1 c. diced shallot( I used extra green onion)
4 T green onion
1 t. Chili powder or chili flakes
4 T roasted rice powder* (cut down to 3 T it was too grainy)
4 T lime juice
2 T fish sauce
¾ c. cilantro, chop
1/8 c. mint leaves
Heat up 2 c. water/stock. Quickly add ground meat. Mix constantly. Stir until chicken is cooked. Drain excess liquid. Add remaining ingredients, except mint(I added the mint in for the flavor). Mix well. Garnish with mint. *Rice powder: bake white rice in oven (I think I did it at 350, but I don't know how long. It was browning) Then put in food processor and ground into powder.
